PLEASE SHARE - Attention All Vintage Cars...

We would like to welcome Schneider's Market at the 5 Mile Point Plaza in Kirkwood as the sponsor of this Saturday's Vintage Car Open. Be sure to stop and see them for your ice and snacks prior to the racing this Saturday.

The Vintage Car Open is for all clubs and independent vintage racers. We have put this early season show together to give everyone a chance to get out and race before "club racing" begins.

We are breaking the racing into two groups Modified Vintage (1985 and newer cars) and Sportsman Vintage (1984 and older cars). If we get 5 Late Models we will give them there own division. Each division will see the winner receive a plaque and $100 courtesy of Schneider's Market. We will pay second and place third as well in features ($75 and $50). If we have a separate Late Model class we will pay the top three. If not, the top finisher will receive $100 and a plaque.

Each Vintage team will receive two free pit passes for this event. We welcome members from all clubs but memberships are not required to race in this Vintage Car Open.

Thank you to Schneider's Market at the 5 Mile Point Plaza for their involvement in this program and please be sure to support them. They are located right at the bottom of the hill on your way up to the speedway.

The full order of events are posted on our website and we will have much more out during the rest of the week. Please email us at [email protected] if you're team is planning on attending. This way we can have a list ready at the pit sign in to make the process quicker for you.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing all of the vintage teams this Saturday at Five Mile Point Speedway.

* please note – the small car teams will park off of turn 2 for their earlier racing program…this way teams running the night portion of the racing program do not have to arrive for the early gate times and will have the normal parking spaces available when they arrive later in the day…we are splitting this up so both small and big car teams are not forced to have to be on site for many hours watching all of the divisions…your pit pass is good for all racing during the day and night so the option is there if you are associated with a small car and big car team as well…Vintage Cars are also encouraged to park off of turn 2.
